this was the second show at “the church” (formerly know as the inside/outside gallery) but it was the first that i had a chance to take a few shots at.
i’ve known nick whom is the drummer in bang-bang for a few years from his other band “new black” (also from chicago) that has performed at pat’s in the flats on a few occasions.
nick joined us for tacos before the show and i was telling him that i don’t ever think i’ve seen bang-bang but later that evening once they started their set i remember them playing at the coffinberry CD release show with “clouds forming crowns” last september 29, 05. nick was not with bang-bang for that show so that may have been something to do with it but many times i don’t recall seeing certain bands unless i see them again or see the photos..
the band “bullet teeth” from portland opened up the poorly attended sophmore show at “the church” and i’m pretty certain that i’ve never seen them before but would like to see them again.
the april 25, 2006 show at “the church” photos are here.

this show was at pat’s in the flats on april 22, 2006 and was billed as the “earth day” celebration.
argyle denial was making there debut and sounded good for the first time out. jenn promises to sing next time so i’ld like to see how they progress.

these photos are here.

at the inside/outside gallery on april 13, 2006.

michael columbia has parts of “need new body” & “olivia tremor control. the photos are here.

for whatever reasons, i had drifted away from shooting inanimate stuff that i see around me, outside of that occasional shot here or there. last week when the weather first broke here in cleveland, i went for a bike ride around my hood and brought my camera with along (with my car being stolen i have road my bike all winter but mostly to get to my destination). this gallery has those shots as well as others that i’ve been adding or plan to add this spring/summer 2006.

thanks to xsultrykitten who awoke me to the situation.

the gallery is here.

the record shop “music saves” had a flaming lips CD release party that had the helper t-cell’s and tall pines perform a set and then had them collaborating together covering flaming lips songs.
the photos of this april 4th show are here.

this was the second muamin show i’ve seen in the last month and they sounded alot tighter than last show here. most of the shots have people smiling or enjoying themselves which is also a good indicator of the fun that was had.
“this moment” performed last and put on one of their wackiest if not best show i’ve seen of theirs in a while.

the photos are here.

the NLR’s played the happy dog on march 28, 2005. mike st. jude & the valentines opened for the new lou reeds.

those few shots are here.
